Just because it's the asking price doesn't mean it's worth it.
Out of interest, how does the ULEZ regulation affect boats? I suspect not at all, but if Genghis Khan gets wind of it, there would be a fortune to be had in London.

That’s more like it.

It will sell for £15,000. You can't rent a one-bedroom flat for a year in most of London for that sort of money.

I doubt it is a mistake. More likely a marketing strategy. Get noticed. It seems to be working.

You can call me admirable.

I think the bubble might have burst on overpriced boats. There’s quite a few for sale around here with outrageous price tags. They don’t seem to be selling. Including one that has been dumped on a prime visitor mooring for at least 3months with no name or number displayed.
